  You are getting reflexively downvoted, but it's not so clear cut. On the one hand, slavery was banned by 13th amendment. On the middle handle, alcohol was banned (18th) and then unbanned (21st) by amendment. On the other hand, nearly everything else in the Constitution is about the function of government and the rights of individuals with respect to government, not the rights of individuals with respect to other individuals.

  We should arguably guarantee a right to privacy in the Constitution first, as we should have the same protections from government as well. (As our other human rights are generally protected via the Constitution.)
